EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century photo print, titled "Bourlard. Joseph, Anselme" offers a fascinating glimpse into the life of an intriguing individual. Born in Biemme, Belgium, this enigmatic man is captured at the age of 45 or 46 years old. His occupation as a "piqueur de gres" (stoneware piercer) hints at his involvement in manual labor. However, it is his political affiliation that truly piques curiosity - an anarchist with strong beliefs challenging societal norms and advocating for radical change. The year of his arrest is marked as 1894, suggesting potential involvement in activities deemed criminal by French authorities during that time. The black and white albumen silver print showcases Alphonse Bertillon's meticulous anthropometric techniques used for identification purposes. Bertillonage was a pioneering method employed to classify criminals based on physical measurements such as height and facial features. As we delve into this thought-provoking image from the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, we are reminded of the intersection between art and science during this era. This portrait not only serves as documentation but also reflects the socio-political climate prevalent at the time. Through this photograph, we are transported back to a period where individuals like Bourlard challenged established systems and ideologies while leaving their mark on history. It serves as a reminder that even within seemingly ordinary lives lies extraordinary stories waiting to be discovered.
